If you are running an online store, you don't need eyeballs -- you need buyers. Traffic Swarm can give you traffic, but often low quality traffic who are not interested in your products
Here are some shoestring marketing ideas that can help you get the visitors you need at the least cost possible:
1. Create the best content you can with the best products you can possibly offer. Your content is your best advertisement - if visitors love your content, then they will go back and spread the word to others.
2. Make it easy for users to recommend your site. Viral marketing is very important -- and easy to tap on the Web. But give your users the tools. Get a Recommend this Site script from websites such as cgiscripts.com and similar directories of scripts. Some even go as far as giving incentives to those who recommend the site to their friends. If only 10 people go to your site, but these 10 people invite 10 more - that's additional traffic that you get for FREE!

CGI Resource Index http://cgi.resourceindex.com/Programs_and_Scripts/Perl/Website_Promotion/Recommend_Site/
Hostscripts http://www.hotscripts.com/PHP/Scripts_and_Programs/Site_Recommendation/index.html
3. Rank well in the search engines (organic search results, not the pay per click). SEs can be a big source of traffic. The key is to create the best content in your niche. If you have good content, other websites will gladly link to you and offer your site as a resource to their audience. Check the on-page factors and be sure to get linked from authority sites in your topic area.

4. Send out press releases. While outfits charge as much as $650 per release, there are free press release submission places on the Web. Press releases allow you to (a) attract media attention; (b) get more back links to your website without sending each website an email request; and (c) get more visibility especially if your press release gets in Google News or Yahoo News. My website (see my profile) accepts free press release submission (no strings attached!)

5. Submit articles. Write articles and submit them to websites accepting author submissions. You get exposure for your business; establishes you as an authority in your field, and allows you to get backlinks for your website. If 50 websites publish your article and it contains a link back to your website, then you easily get 50 links from a single article. The more links you have, the greater your chances for increasing your search engine rankings.
Here is a comprehensive list of where to submit your articles http://answers.yahoo.com/question/;_ylt=AhzreGmnCUicOoyedqypscUjzKIX?qid=1006022407481
6. Improve your conversion. Getting visitors is one thing; getting them to buy your products is a whole different story. Read the article "10 Ways to Convert Visitors to Buyers" http://www.powerhomebiz.com/072005/conversion.htm for tips on how to improve your conversion rates.
7. Post a link to your site for free where it is allowed (always read the Terms of Use). Examples are:
Craigslist http://www.craigslist.com
Google Base http://base.google.com
Classifieds for Free http://www.classifiedsforfree.com/...
Text Link Exchange http://www.txtswap.com/
Recycler.com http://www.recycler.com/
Yahoo Classifieds http://classifieds.yahoo.com/

Yes. Absolutely. And they should get prosecuted for it. It doesn't matter what their motivations were. There is a process for international adoption and respect for the laws of the country is paramount. It is obvious they knew they were committing a crime. They forged documents in order to obtain a visa to bring the children to the states. I have no idea how they intended to get US citizenship for the children, or even if they had thought that far ahead. The lengths they went to makes me wonder if their purpose was as noble as they claim it to be. So yes, it's human trafficking. Without a doubt. I hope they like Egyptian prison.

I am very neutral about TrafficSwarm, yes you do get a lot of visitors to your site but they are just visitors not people interested in your product. Another valid point against them is if you have "Adsense', "Publisher" or another form of passive advertisement, you run a risk or "click fraud". For my sites and blog (one informational and the other 4 are product related) I use techniques like multiple search engine submissions (which I do manually), joining related forums or groups to my field of expertise and posting my URL in my signature (not spamming), offering my visitors free stuff like information, games to play on-line etc. I will provide a link with more details on the techniques that I mentioned

They are just like hundreds of other companies that are out there that provide this same type of service. Now if they are good or not is for you to find out. Again they are probly just like the other folks out there that do the samething. At least check with them to see if they can tell you that you would be listed in the first 10 sites on each search engine.

utter garbage. signed up and deleted my account in under an hour.
try blogexplosion.com or blogmad.net.
Same concept, faster sites, and they actually let you see worthy content, not a bunch of free crap advertisements!
